Eat Together, Make Life Delicious...

I love picnics on the beach, or for that matter any place special that gets you out of your routine of the dinner table. Hey, even quietly chomping during a matinée is fun too.

The best food to prepare is portable and eaten at room temperature or even cold, so sandwiches are perfect. And if you do go to the movies, make sure your sandwich doesn't have a strong odor (so leave the tuna for another time)! An easy side would be sweet potato chips or soup.

Turkey Apple-Maple Sandwiches
Makes 4 Servings

For the apple-maple sauce:
1 cup prepared apple sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon ground curry
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt

For the sandwich:
8 slices of crusty fresh white bread
½ pound turkey breast, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons apple-maple sauce (see above recipe)
½ granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

To prepare the apple-maple sauce, combine the apple sauce, maple syrup, curry, ginger, and salt together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool. Pack up the apple-maple sauce along with a spoon.

Divide up the turkey and apple slices among four slices of bread and place the other on top. Cut the sandwich in half and pack it up in plastic wrap. When you are ready to eat the sandwiches, open the sandwiches and generously spread the apple-maple sauce over the turkey.
